Detailed description

Designed for demanding marine applications, the Whale Gulper 320 24V electric pump (part number BP2054) is a diaphragm pump without a filter, intended for managing gray water and small bilges. Operating on a 24V DC power supply (voltage range from 21.6 V to 27.2 V DC), it delivers a flow rate of 19 litres per minute (5 US GPM), with a maximum current draw of 3.25 amperes and a recommended 5-ampere automotive-type fuse.

Design and technical performance

The Gulper 320 stands out with its filter-free design, eliminating clogging risks and simplifying maintenance. Its ability to run dry without damage, combined with ignition protection (ISO8846), makes it a reliable solution for marine environments. The pump head, made of glass-reinforced nylon, and the valves/diaphragms in Santoprene® contribute to its durability. With hose connections compatible with 19 mm (3/4") and 25 mm (1") diameters, it offers installation flexibility. It can handle a maximum suction head of 3 metres and a maximum discharge head of 3 metres, with a combined maximum head of 4 metres.

Positioning within the Whale range

The Gulper 320 is positioned as a primary bilge pump for vessels up to 12 metres, in accordance with ISO15083, outperforming models like the Gulper 220 (14 L/min) in flow rate. Unlike the Gulper IC kits (part numbers SI82XX, SI84XX, WM8XXX, SG8XXX) which include automatic features and sensors, the Gulper 320 is a standalone pump offering simple integration. It differs from the submersible pumps in the Orca or Supersub ranges, which require remote mounting for installation in a dry, protected location. Weighing 1.6 kg and with compact dimensions (273 x 111 x 117 mm), it fits easily into confined spaces. It is supplied without additional accessories, focusing solely on pump performance.

« Technical analysis: Whale Gulper 320 24V electric pump »

The Whale Gulper 320 24V pump (BP2054) is a strategic choice for vessels requiring a reliable, low-maintenance grey water or bilge pumping solution. Its diaphragm architecture, with no filter, is a major advantage as it eliminates recurring clogging issues common with traditional pumps—critical for maintaining the integrity of the onboard system. Its ability to run dry without damage ensures increased durability, a key factor for equipment installed in demanding marine environments. The 24V voltage makes it suitable for the electrical systems of medium to large boats. Its designation as a primary bilge pump for vessels up to 12 meters, in accordance with ISO15083 standards, underscores its compliance with safety and performance requirements. The option for remote mounting, facilitated by a 360° swivel head, offers significant installation flexibility, allowing it to be placed in a dry, protected compartment away from the potentially cluttered bilge areas. This contrasts with submersible pumps, which are directly exposed to debris. For optimal integration, it is recommended to use 19 mm (3/4") or 25 mm (1") hoses and to adhere to a minimum cable size of 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) to ensure consistent performance and prevent voltage drop.
